    It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I know on my car, it's a pain in the expletive to do, but this was easy. And fun! I bled, but not that much.

    And for the record, the sandwiches were incredible. They always are :p

    Congrats on your swaybay ectomy, nice job!:Thumbsup: After a bit you'll probably want to stiffen that bar up to the max. This old man likes his bar stiff, some old men want it soft. Sorry couldn't help it. :smilewinkgrin:

    :lol: :lol:

    Thank you! I definitely think it's very possible that I may want to change it to the stiffest setting. With it being Fall though and (hopefully) the rainy season coming up, I was a little worried about it being too much. Now that we've gone through the process though I figure changing it should be a piece of cake (mmm, cake).

    I foresee another Code3_Mini abduction/adventure to the twisties...

    Lol...was it surprising to you at all that when you came to abduct me, I went willingly? All I can say is that it was one of the better days I've ever had.
